SDL_Net on Android?

MatiasMunk · May 29, 2019, 9:32pm

Hi there, I’m running Ubuntu machine and I have issues with implementing SDL_Net in Android Studio.
I would appreciate any help regarding this matter, it’s been bugging me for days now and any search results seem outdated to me, seriously I cannot make it work. Please help!

you need to put the sdl2_net folder in jni folder
in android.mk add it to the LOCAL_C_INCLUDES
in manifest add permission for internet
and i think that thats it

I added SDL_Net folder to jni folder of the android project.
I added permission for internet in the AndroidManifest.xml
However I couldn’t find an androind.mk file besides the one in the SDL folder, and the line you suggested is already there, I think: LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)

I still get errors when I try to include the SDL_Net library.
My project is a Gradle project, if it is of any concern.
Help is much appreciated.

take a look in this android project:

github.com

spurious/SDL-mirror/blob/master/android-project/app/jni/src/Android.mk

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE := main

SDL_PATH := ../SDL

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/$(SDL_PATH)/include

# Add your application source files here...
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := YourSourceHere.c

LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := SDL2

LOCAL_LDLIBS := -lGLESv1_CM -lGLESv2 -llog

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

put sdl in jni folder
put sdl net in jni folder
put your code in jni/src folder

modify android.mk inside the src folder to include sdl net

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/$(SDL_PATH)/include $(LOCAL_PATH)/../SDL_net/

I am using Allegro next to SDL_Net, I already have a project structure setup for Allegro, how would I go by adding SDL_Net next to it?
